Sheinelle Jones Calls First Mother’s Day Without Husband 'Brutal,' Finds 'Silver Lining' in Kids

Her on-air reflection highlights the solace she finds in her children's routines.

Overview

  • Jones, who spoke Monday on Today With Jenna & Sheinelle, described her first Mother’s Day since Uche Ojeh’s death as brutal.
  • She said the day hit hard because her late husband had led the small traditions like rallying the kids to make cards.
  • She credited a packed slate of youth games and a dance recital for keeping her moving through the day.
  • Watching Clara dance and her sons get back on the field helped her feel she would be okay.
  • Ojeh died in May 2025 at 45 from glioblastoma, and Jones later returned to co-host the show after taking time off.
